On Saturday morning, I woke up and had some oatmeal. I blow dried my hair after my shower and started feeling nausous. I decided to lay down and see if it would go away. It did, but I got a huge pain in my stomach (up, under my "chest" where your stomach actually is) that felt like heartburn. The thing is, it was coming from my stomach, not the typical place heartburn occurs.

I laid down again, hoping a nap would make it go away. Well, by about 4:00 it was a hundred times worse and would begin in my stomach and shoot down to my belly button, but internally. The pain was so bad and came and went just like contractions.

My hubby took me to the ER, which is about 5 minutes from our house. That is when I threw up almost the entire way there. Yuck.

When we got in, they took a bunch of tests and then hooked me up to an IV to administer the morphine, an anti-spasmatic drug for my stomach and fluids. The thing was, fluids were last, so the morphine felt horrible at first. I was really on edge at that point.

Anyway, my tests were fine. She thought it could have been something I ate or something related to my IBS.

I went to my doctor on Monday and they thought it was a virus and gave me some meds and a prescription for the anti-spasmatic drugs in case it ever happened again. If it does, I have to go back to the ER for a CAT Scan....kitties??

I've been on a "Jello-Broth-Clear Fluids" diet for a few days, I'm now slowly adding crackers, bread and pretzels. I'm starting to feel better, but not totally. I'm just afraid it will come back and be something more serious. Prayers please.

So, how was that for a novel on what happened?
